PS CS2 Crashes when working with LARGE fonts

I've been having some problems when I try to increase the size of a font. I'm using what looks like the largest size (1296). When I try to adjust some of the settings of the font PS just completely closes. This includes transforming, scaling, moving etc. Is there anything that I can tweak here to avoid this? Or is this just the fact that I'm working with such a large font? Just curious.
